A hose guide having a base with a back side, a front side and a hose receiving orifice. A receiver extends from the front side of the base. The receiver has a terminal end that communicates an interior surface and an exterior surface. The terminal end may define a plurality of fillets. A roller assembly is affixed to the back side the base. The roller assembly supports a plurality of rollers for engaging an external surface of a hose. When installed, the hose guide of the invention is flush with a sealing surface, such as a panel, for providing a sealing surface therewith. Rollers are provided for reducing damage to a hose passing therethrough. Use of a complementary shaped stopper helps to prevent an ingress of water and dust through the hose guide, e.g., into a hose reel containing compartment.

Method and apparatus for automating power take-offs for vehicles and equipment
A system and method of this disclosure control an on/off state of a power take-off by monitoring the power demand of a fluid power circuit that includes the power take-off and a piece of equipment connected to the power take-off. The power demand may be indicated by a pressure or temperature of a fluid power circuit, by a motion of the equipment or its hand-held controller, or by an engine torque of an engine driving the power take-off. When the equipment transitions between an off state and an on state, the controller automatically engages the power take-off. When the equipment is in the on-state for a predetermined amount of time and the power demand is at or below a predetermined threshold during the predetermined amount of time—thereby indicating idle time or an inactive state of the equipment—the controller automatically disengages the power take-off.

Embodiments of a personnel basket for attachment to a crane boom include folding sidewall sections; a rear wall connected to the sidewall sections; a front wall in pivotal connection to one of the folding sidewall sections; a floor in pivotal relation to the rear wall; a stalk integral to the rear wall and including a boom connection; and a cam or stop that transmits floor loads to the stalk. Because of the pivotal relationships, the personnel basket is moveable or foldable in a connected or assembled condition between a deployed (unfolded) state and a folded (fully collapsed) state. When in the deployed and folded states, the walls and floor remain connected to the personnel basket, the walls sharing a same orientation, the floor pivoting toward and away from the rear wall between a horizontal and vertical orientation.

Automatic de-rate operating system and method for a truck mounted crane
A crane control system and method which automatically de-rates the maximum capacity of the crane when the boom is located in a first zone located on one side of the truck or in a second zone located on the opposite side of the truck. The control system de-rates the crane without input from the crane operator. The control system may use an inductive proximity sensor located on the base of the boom to locate stationary steel targets located around the base of the boom. The targets approximate the outer ranges of the first and second zones.
